Drop Off and Collection

The School Day

Foundation and KS1 (infants): 8.55am to 12.00noon, 1.00pm to 3.15pm

KS2 (juniors: 8.55am to 12.15pm, 1.10pm to 3.15pm

All children have a 15 minute break each morning. KS1 have a 10 minute break in the afternoon. Actual hours of teaching per week, excluding registration, breaks and assemblies, are 21 hours and 10 minutes for KS1 and 23 hours and 50 minutes for KS2.

Children should arrive between 8.45am and 8.55am and proceed straight to class. We ask that once parents have seen their child into the playground, they leave as quickly as possible.

Registration

Registration takes place at the beginning of each session. Children who arrive after registration has taken place must report to the school office and sign in the late book before joining their class. If parents collect a child before a session ends, they must report to the school office and complete the signing out book.

The end of the day

Infant children stay with their teacher at the classroom door until they see their parents. Juniors go into the playground. If the parent is not in the playground, children are told to go back to their teacher until collected. Any children who remain uncollected are looked after in the medical room until someone arrives for them.

Road Safety and Parking

Orchard Drive is busy and dangerous for children. We do all we can to teach basic safety rules. We ask you to support us by continuing to train children to cross roads safely. We also ask that if you must come to school by car to observe the yellow lines and not park outside the school, on the kerb or near corners, or on grass verges. Many residents in the surrounding roads are affected by inconsiderate parking i.e. across the entrance to their drive. Please consider others when parking.
